What is spiritual warfare? This podcast makes distinctions between discipline (sin), pruning (removing anything from your life that is preventing a good harvest of "fruit"), demonic possession, demonic oppression, and the war that is occurring over our souls and minds between the forces of good (God and angels) and evil (Satan and demons). How does Satan use our vulnerabilities against us? Since we have no "say" over our personal backstory, Satan lies in wait to oppress us and prevent us from victorious living. He uses our vulnerabilities - those things in our lives over which we never had control - to keep us feeling defeated and in despair. We must change our thinking (neuroplasticity) for reality based thoughts that work for us and not against us. We know that if we run to God while, at the same time, identifying our specific support network, we can win the battle on this side of heaven! Once we get to the other side of our spiritual warfare, God will use our story for his glory and kingdom. We have already been given the victory!
